Well, I believe everyone has made some very valid points about the direction S-P might have taken in 1957. Looking back (and knowing that 57-58 Packards are in no way the same as my favored 56's), the styling of these cars has made me appreciate what was done with virtually no money and little time. The 58 Packard hardtop is actually a beautiful car to me--allbeit a bit strange and with tacked- on headlight nacelles and fins. But overall it makes a rather good-looking hardtop. And these cars were certainly trouble free. I was amazed at how well a 57 Clipper rode with its "Luxury Level" ride! Here's a picture of my take on what a '57 Caribbean might have looked like.
